The Pomegranate Gate by Ariel Kaplan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.
Dnf @ 46%
There is a lot of good in this book so I'm sad to give up on it, but I kept setting it down and I fear it would take me a month to finish. The one crucial thing that pushed me away from this book is a lack of warmth. I simply can't get on with a book where every character is bickering with every other character in every single scene. The only moments of peace or unrestrained exploration are in solitude, which is almost always broken by someone running up to squawk at them. It feels like it both impedes the story of the book and the enjoyment for me.
